Do you know, that most web sites track your user experience?

Most major websites track their visitors' behavior and then sell or
provide that information to other companies (like advertisers).

Have you seen, that when you surf on FB into the frame on top right, you receive more suggested site, in relation of your product search in other sites?

This features is called "personalization", it's legal after you accept to use yours FB credential to login in.

Good, do you remeber"Netiquette" (if not read associated link), now FireFox introduce a new features

"Do Not Track"

Firefox
has a Do Not Track feature that lets you tell websites
you don't want your browsing behavior tracked. This article explains
what tracking is, how the Do Not Track feature works and how to turn it
on.

When you turn on the Do Not Track feature, Firefox tells every
website you visit (as well as their advertisers and other content
providers) that you don't want your browsing behavior tracked. Honoring
this setting is voluntary — individual websites are not required to
respect it. Websites that do honor this setting should automatically
stop tracking your behavior without any further action from you.

Turning on Do Not Track will not affect your ability to log in to
websites nor cause Firefox to forget your private information — such as
the contents of shopping carts, location information or login
information.

The Do Not Track feature is turned off by default. To turn it on:

At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options
